Compliance comes through motivation, not just mandates
Despite generally comprehensive safety programs, many thousands of eye injuries still occur in U.S. workplaces each year. Unfortunately the largest number of eye injuries happen because the employee was simply not wearing his or her safety glasses. In some flagrant cases, the employee might assume that an incident is highly unlikely and therefore neglects to wear safety glasses, goggles and face shields because they're considered unattractive and uncomfortable.
1) Analyze possible causes of eye injuries. Perform a detailed audit of all potential eye hazards in the workplace each time new equipment, processes or procedures are introduced, as well as generally throughout the entire work environment on an annual basis. Keep in mind that most eye injuries are caused by the impact of flying fragments or airborne particles, and many are caused by splashes of hazardous chemical or biological liquids.
